The only real limitations I can see are range and length of runway- unless of course we get the one that had no landing gear, then it is a ditch regardless.  

Yes, LW has a real reason to celebrate now... we're talking totally impervious to interception that anyone that is wary. If I look up and see one of these moving overhead I might wave, but I won't bother chasing!

WTFG SF!

The main problem with Axis vs Allied arenas is the bomber dispairity. The Arado goes a long way to plugging that hole. If the Japanese get the Ki-46 next, that gives the axis some good tools for scenarios. Thanks!

Hangtime.. if you can get 4-5 guys with the perks to buy this, your "Fast Attack" profile will have a whole new meaning.

ARADO "JABO fighters.. ARADOs commencing attack"
JABO "What? we aren't even half way there yet!"
ARADO "JABO fighters.. Field is dead, can clear the 2 Ostwinds on the runway? We are RTB"

LOL Midnight.. I suspect we'll soon see some more guys flyin buffs so they can get perk points for this thing.  

Yep.. six of these hittin a field would sure change the attack profile some. As always; things just keep gettin better here.  

Still, the damn thing has no forward guns.. dealing with HO's will be kinda scary. And, since a pony can catch it; and it'll be vulnerable from most attackers with 'e' from above, I suspect it'll fare poorly in most MA situations. It's gotta lousy climb rate too I hear. Wonder if we'll get the cluster bombs and if they are effective on GV's.

All in all it looks to be an interesting ride; and the LW should be pleased to have this thing available.

Call it the Buffers Runstang.

Nice going! Just for you Luftwaffe nuts, that plane is from Kg-76. I can't figure the staffel or gruppe since my reference isn't the greatest.
